Some of us with bipolar disorder also face body image challenges. The negative thoughts about my body started developing before I was diagnosed with bipolar 2. This eventually led to my having an eating disorder.

In the video, I discuss how my eating disorder started, what kept it going, and how I learned to deal with the negative thoughts around my body image.

Body image problems related to bipolar disorder are rarely discussed. If you have experience with this, please comment below or do a response video and send it into: info@healthyplace.com. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
